AL Ringlock System

The aluminum ringlock scaffold is assembled and used by prefabricated parts according to actual needs, and is designed according to EU EN-12810, EN-12811, and EN-74.The INSTANT  aluminum ringlock scaffold system has passed the test according to the third part of the load of temporary engineering equipment in the European Union BSEN12,811-3.

Compared with the traditional steel tube scaffold, the aluminum ringlock scaffold system has many advantages.

1. Scaffolds are easier to design and layout. The vertical standard, Ledger, diagonal brace are prefabricated into standard parts by the factory and classified for measurement and design.

2. Scaffolds can be erected faster. The standard size vertical standard ,ledger, diagonal brace have standard joints, which can be connected in less than 5 seconds. However, the connection of traditional tubular components may take 20 seconds. If it is necessary to measure and adjust the position, it will take more time.

3. Have fewer parts. Because the prefabricated parts have been designed with relevant connection positions, there are fewer parts to be prepared for the erection of a scaffold system, which can be transported to the work site faster.

4. If you want, you can still use steel pipes and fasteners for mixed erection. You can use the modular system to solve most of the work from the aspects of improving speed and easy assembly, but when you need more flexibility and complex environment, you can still use steel pipes and fasteners for mixed erection. Steel pipes and fasteners shall be qualified products that are compatible with the standard model products of INSTANT.

Why aluminium 为什么用铝合金？

Most parts of INSTANT's scaffolding system are made of high-strength aluminum alloy to reduce weight. Some of the benefits of using aluminum compared to steel system scaffolding are:

1. It is easier to transport materials to the site. Because of the construction site, the transportation cost may vary greatly. In some places, the use of lightweight aluminum scaffolding systems can significantly reduce transport costs. Some transportation costs can even be saved up to 30%.

2. It is easier to transfer materials on site. It takes a lot of time and labor to carry the scaffold manually on site, especially in the restricted site. Lighter aluminum alloy parts can transfer more materials in a shorter time.

3. Reduce the labor intensity of workers. The erection of heavy steel pipe frame will easily cause extreme fatigue or more serious injury to the construction personnel, thus reducing the work efficiency of the team. Compared with the steel frame of the same system, the lightweight aluminum alloy scaffold components of INSTANT are usually only half of their weight. (For example, the 3.0m/10ft aluminum standard weighs only 6.4kg/14lbs, while the steel pipe standard weighs 14.6kg/32lbs.)

4. Faster erection. Because of the light weight, the transfer of parts and components between workers is faster and easier to locate. An efficient construction team helps reduce the erection time and labor intensity. It is possible to increase productivity by 20% or more.

5. Less storage space is required. Aluminum scaffolding is light in weight, can be stacked and stored more easily and safely, has higher space rate, and reduces the floor area occupied by materials.

6. Reduce the ground load. In the same way, compared with the steel pipe scaffold system, the self weight of the aluminum scaffold is reduced to about 45%, effectively reducing the ground pressure or the bearing of the floor. In places with load restrictions, such as indoor or roof, its advantages are more prominent.
